Wilkinson afforded Mr. Men fame

Editor

Jonny Wilkinson probably doesn't need quite this kind of fun to be poked at him right now, but he has been included in a list of celebrities to be paired with Mr. Men in connection with the launch of a new range of Mr Men toys.

Wilkinson's twin from the characters of the famous children's books? None other than Mr. Bump himself!

A statement from Mr Men toy manfuacturer Mattel said: “Mishaps and blunders are par for the course here. Jonny is the celebrity incarnation of Mr Bump.”

Wilkinson is joined by Prime Minister Gordon Brown as Mr Grumpy, Irish TV host Graham Norton as Mr Tickle and foul-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay as Mr Rude.

To rub further salt in Wilko's wounds, David Beckham has somehow ended up as Mr Strong, although we had figured Andy Sheridan might be the candidate for that one…

Can you pair up any more rugby players with Mr. Men characters?
